Mars Area School District has released the results of a recent fundraiser for charity.
Mars students participating in the annual Hats for Heroes fundraiser last Friday were able to raise $8,400 to benefit Susan G. Komen Foundation. This includes nearly $4,000 in online donations.
Students made donations to the cause of breast cancer research in return for the opportunity to wear a hat in school.
All students and staff were also encouraged to wear pink as part of a District-wide “Pink-Out” to raise awareness for this cause.
